We passed through there the other Saturday morning. There was absolutely nobody there. Maybe it was the time of day. But it has so much potential. I'd definitely visit again
Sunbridgewells is truly a one-of-a-kind destination and an absolute must-visit in Bradford. Built into restored Victorian tunnels (which were once an air-raid shelter and even a nightclub!), the architecture and atmosphere are incredibly unique and atmospheric. It feels like a hidden subterranean village, offering a brilliant mix of independent pubs, craft beer bars, food outlets, and quirky shops. It's the perfect place to spend an evening exploring or settling down in a cosy corner for a drink. The history, the exposed brick, and the layout make it unforgettable. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a unique social or shopping experience in the city centre!
Great atmospheric place which was originally the air raid shelter for Bradford city centre. Quirky artifacts and info. Would definitely make a return visit.
Met friends here and enjoyed a few beers before the football last week. Great selection of drinks. Friendly and helpful staff, mostly.
When I needed help to plan my sisters Hen Night the team at sunbridge wells were excellent. Never would I of thought to have an event there but there was everything all in one place. We enjoyed every single minute 💃🏼They cater for all budgets and although all staff were amazing Harry was fantastic - kept the drinks topped up and made sure everyone was ok. For anyone looking for the same I would 100% recommend and certainly be going again ourselves in the future. Thank you 😀
